The Clink Prison Museum
The Clink Prison museum is based on Clink prison which is considered one of the oldest prisons in London, the first notable evidence being in 1144. The prison’s owner was Bishop of Winchester, and was part of a larger complex called Winchester House. The most offenders in Clink Prison were from Southbank, which was a district known for the “perverse entertainment” that they offered. Visitors will have the opportunity to see with their own eyes the different torture methods on which the helpless criminals were subjected in medieval England. The museum can be visited daily between 10 am and 6 pm (on weekends between 10 am and 9 pm).
